Balma del Torrent de l'esbarzer

Gran balma al torrent de l'Esbarzer (Rellinars)

Rellinars • Vallès Occidental6m0

Large rock shelter at the torrent de l'Esbarzer (Rellinars), excavated in conglomerates, with a 6m drop.

Characteristics

Location

We will take the B-122 road that goes from Castellvell i el Vilar to Rellinars; when we reach km 17 we will turn left onto an asphalted track that leads to the les Codines residential area. We will always follow the main track; the path climbs parallel to the torrent de l'Esbarzer, we will pass beside the font de l'Esbarzer and continue to a point where the track crosses the streambed. Here we will leave the car to continue on foot along the torrent bed and after about 200m we will find the rock shelter.

Description

Morphology

The rock shelter, excavated in conglomerates, is found in the middle of the streambed. The cavity has a width of 42m and a depth of 6m; the maximum height is 5.80m and we find it surrounded by large blocks of conglomerate that have fallen from the walls and the ceiling.

Hydrology

In the middle of the streambed the rock shelter forms a 6m drop, over which the waters of the torrent de l'Esbarzer plunge.

History

Certainly known since remote times. It had remained unpublished in speleological catalogues.
